Clear Channel wins for plugs

Clear Channel’s FreeCharge Power Stations at Dalls/Fort Worth International Airport were named the best new consumer services concept in North America at the ACI-NA’s 18th Annual Airport Concessions Conference.

The FreeCharge stations not only let you plug into power but you can plug into the InterWebs with USB ports and the stations also have built-in laptops in case yours is packed away. Or you spilled coffee on the keyboard. Or you locked it up with all your illegal downloads. Or you fried the hard drive. I’ve heard these things happen.
